LG 27GL850-B - best setting on Xbox Series?

Hey,

unfortunately as some of you may know the LG GL850-B has suboptimal HDMI bandwith. Its not possible to input a signal of 1440p@120hz with VRR enabled over the HDMI port (which would be the most optimal setting).

So I have a question what setting I should use on Xbox Series. Would you rather play with...

1. 1080p@120hz with VRR enabled. Lowest Input Lag BUT horrible upscaled picture (in my opinion)

2. 1440p@120hz without VRR enabled. its more responsive than at 60hz (atleast without VRR enabled)

3. 1440p@60hz with VRR enabled.

I wish there would be a fourth option, but unfortunately the 120hz seems not to stick with 720p (better upscaling to 1440p than from 1080p). Oh well.

So which is the best? Is the 3rd option atleast as responsive as the 2nd or better overall? Or would you rather take worse picturequality?
